JewishGen.org Discussion Group FAQs
What is the JewishGen.org Discussion Group?
The JewishGen.org Discussion Group unites thousands of Jewish genealogical researchers worldwide as they research their family history, search for relatives, and share information, ideas, methods, tips, techniques, and resources. The JewishGen.org Discussion Group makes it easy, quick, and fun, to connect with others around the world.
Is it Secure?
Yes. JewishGen is using a state of the art platform with the most contemporary security standards. JewishGen will never share member information with third parties.
How is the New JewishGen.org Discussion Group better than the old one?
Our old Discussion List platform was woefully antiquated. Among its many challenges: it was not secure, it required messages to be sent in Plain Text, did not support accented characters or languages other than English, could not display links or images, and had archives that were not mobile-friendly.
This new platform that JewishGen is using is a scalable, and sustainable solution, and allows us to engage with JewishGen members throughout the world. It offers a simple and intuitive interface for both members and moderators, more powerful tools, and more secure archives (which are easily accessible on mobile devices, and which also block out personal email addresses to the public).
I am a JewishGen member, why do I have to create a separate account for the Discussion Group?
As we continue to modernize our platform, we are trying to ensure that everything meets contemporary security standards. In the future, we plan hope to have one single sign-in page.
I like how the current lists work. Will I still be able to send/receive emails of posts (and/or digests)?
Yes. In terms of functionality, the group will operate the same for people who like to participate with email. People can still send a message to an email address (in this case, main@groups.JewishGen.org), and receive a daily digest of postings, or individual emails. In addition, Members can also receive a daily summary of topics, and then choose which topics they would like to read about it. However, in addition to email, there is the additional functionality of being able to read/post messages utilizing our online forum (https://groups.jewishgen.org).
Does this new system require plain-text?
No.
Can I post images, accented characters, different colors/font sizes, non-latin characters?
Yes.
Can I categorize a message? For example, if my message is related to Polish, or Ukraine research, can I indicate as such?
Yes! Our new platform allows members to use “Hashtags.” Messages can then be sorted, and searched, based upon how they are categorized. Another advantage is that members can “mute” any conversations they are not interested in, by simply indicating they are not interested in a particular “hashtag.”
Will all posts be archived?
Yes.
Can I still search though old messages?
Yes. All the messages are accessible and searchable going back to 1998.
What if I have questions or need assistance using the new Group?
Send your questions to: support@JewishGen.org
How do I access the Group’s webpage?
Follow this link: https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main
So just to be sure - this new group will allow us to post from our mobile phones, includes images, accented characters, and non-latin characters, and does not require plain text?
Correct!
Will there be any ads or annoying pop-ups?
No.
Will the current guidelines change?
Yes. While posts will be moderated to ensure civility, and that there is nothing posted that is inappropriate (or completely unrelated to genealogy), we will be trying to create an online community of people who regulate themselves, much as they do (very successfully) on Jewish Genealogy Portal on Facebook.
What are the new guidelines?
There are just a few simple rules & guidelines to follow, which you can read here:https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/guidelines
Thank you in advance for contributing to this amazing online community!
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please email support@JewishGen.org.
Sincerely,
The JewishGen.org Team

REICHENBACH - where they came from?
#poland
Ron Herrmann <ron_herrmann@...>
Recently I located distant relatives of my REICHENBACH
family branch, originally of Siedlce/Shadlitz, Poland. Now we are debating again about the source of this last name. I am sure that the REICHENBACHs are named after the place they came >from - no Jew will "choose" the name REICHENBACH, "Rich Brook", as his last name... There are 4 places in the world called Reichenbach: - Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland - Reichenbach city in Germany (Reichenbach im Vogtland) - central Germany - Reichenbach near Elblag in north Poland (near Gdansk) - Reichenbach near Walbrzych, near Wroclaw, in southern most part of Poland, close to the Czech Republic Most probable is that my family is >from one of the 2 Polish towns listed above. Question: any records of Jews living in those Reichenbach villages/towns? Ron HERRMANN, Bedminster, NJ, USA Researching: REICHENBACH, ROGOWYKAMIEN, SZPEKTOR/SPECTOR, RAIZMAN >from around Siedlce, Poland MODERATOR'S NOTE: If you search the JRI-Poland database at www.jri-poland.org for Reichenbach, specifying a search for Town -- Exact Spelling, you will see several indices of Jewish records in which the town of Reichenbach is mentioned.

Marriage record - indication that parent is deceased??
#poland
Stan Zeidenberg
Is it always or almost always the case in a marriage record, that if a parent
of a bride or groom is deceased at the time of the marriage, that this is so indicated in the document? The record in question in this case is an 1881 Ciechanow marriage record written in Russian. Stan Zeidenberg Toronto, Canada

1906 Bialystok pogrom
#poland
Caryl Simon-Katler <csimon@...>
I am doing research on the June 1906 pogrom in Bialystok, which killed
at least 100 Jews and wounded approximately 200. I have read some short pieces in various books and one summary on a Bialystok website, but would very much like to obtain more details. I'm interested in facts, descriptions and firsthand accounts by witnesses. There seems to be an extraordinary amount of writing on the Kishinev pogrom three years earlier, but very little on Bialystok. Can anyone steer me to some good sources? Thanks for your help.

Re: my "faceless" grandfather

David M. Fox <davefox73@...>
I am answering this message publicly because it might help others besides
Jeff. Remember, if you answer someone's question >from the DG and you think it might benefit others, please respond to the SIG discussion group. This is how we all learn. Jeff did not say at what age his grandfather came to the US, so some of the ideas for obtaining a photo of him may not be applicable. If someone went to high school or college in the US, it might be good to contact the high school and college libraries to get a copy of the photo from a school yearbook.If your grandfather did go to college in the US and belonged to a college fraternity, they would have photos of fraternity members, since most fraternities took yearly photos of their brothers. If you know that your grandfather was a member of a synagogue or other organization (Jewish or otherwise), you could contact them to see if there is a photo of your grandfather in some organizational group photo, their newsletters, etc. If your grandfather ever had a US passport, his photo should be filed with his passport application. I believe these are filed at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. You might also want to check old newspaper files where your grandfather resided. I did a search for my father on the New York Times automated system (there is a fee to subscribe to this service or use a local public library that has a subscription). I found a photo of my father with an article about the fencing team results of a match between several New York City high schools. The article was >from early 1930's.
